Skin Care tips for Spring

Winter weather decreases the circulation and perspiration of
the skin. The skin's naturally shedding outer layer does not turn over in cold
weather as fast as in warm weather. This results in a decrease of suppleness in
the skin; it is drier and it feels rougher.

According the beauty experts, there are several easy ways to
get rid of the telltale signs of winter on your skin before spring is in full
swing...here's some good advice:

- Use a mild exfoliator to remove dry skin cells that clog
your pores. A simple mask made from cooled instant oatmeal can be applied for
ten minutes to slough the surface of your complexion without stripping it.

- Choose a light moisturizer that is suitable for your own
skin type. As the weather is getting warmer and warmer, because heavy
moisturizers tend to clog your pores.

- Use body moisturizer to your entired body. A secret is to
apply white petroleum jelly on your hands and feet, put on gloves and socks
while you asleep. Your skin will be noticeably softer the next morning.

Alternatively, use a
self-tanner. There are many safe gels and bronzers on the market that give a
healthy glow without damaging skin. Cleanse your skin with a mild soap to
protect against reactions. Use medicated creams to help soothe rough, dry skin.

- Reevaluating your makeup. Switch to a lighter foundation
and moisturizer, recommend one with a built-in sunscreen or block.

- Be cautious when go outdoors. The sun is stronger, but
your skin is still sensitive from winter damage, making it even more
susceptible to sunburn. Apply a sunscreen to protect your skin whenever you go
outside.

- Wear gloves when doing outdoor work to protect the
delicate skin on your hands.

- Watch your acne conditions, they may be getting worse due
to increased sweating from higher temperatures. When back from working or
playing from outdoor, clean off the dirt and sweat with a mild soap.

- Drink six to eight glasses of water every day to hydrate
your skin from the inside out.

- Secret home spa for your hand and foot: soak for about
fifteen minutes with two parts milk and one part honey – it really works!

off your smooth, attractive skin in the coming spring.
